Christmas 2009

We had such an amazing Christmas this year. Everything has a new meaning to us, these days. We had fun doing so many things with each other and families. Making tamales with Paul's family, baking cookies with mine, looking at Christmas lights with my sister and brother in law, and shopping!

About Me

Gabriella was diagnosed in April 2009 with a severe and irreparable congenital heart defect, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. On September 25 2009, just before being listed for her new heart, she suffered a left MCA stroke, impairing her right arm abilities and taking away her speech. She was finally listed and received her heart after 97 days of waiting on May 17, 2010. Gabriellasheart.com has transitioned from a diary of our simple life to a log of Gabriella's status, and proves what a warrior she is.
